On the other hand, it’s past time to recognize that the timely delivery of a handwritten note from one person to the next within the week is not part of the requirement of the service anymore

So, and hear me out, maybe let's make a crown corp cell/landline/fibre provider under the Canada Post umbrella so Canadians can get affordable access to modern services that have now replaced the relevance of what mail used to be.

That sounds like a good idea, essentially pivoting Canada Post towards a communications service model, which could actually help improve the infrastructure in this country compared to giving the big 3 handouts to hopefully improve infrastructure which hasn’t been working.

Better yet, have the crown corp taken over existing and future infrastructure, having 3rd parties renting time off of the crown corp could be put directly back into improvement of the system.
